The listening test is an important part of the German B1 Professional Exam. It checks whether participants can understand typical communication situations in the workplace – a key requirement for many jobs in Germany.
The listening section lasts about 20 minutes and usually consists of three parts. The audio recordings are based on everyday professional situations. Typical examples include:
The test tasks are structured as multiple-choice questions. Usually, participants hear each audio once or twice before they must choose the correct answer.
Focused preparation for the listening section should include the following elements:
On our website, you’ll find numerous practice tests at the B1 level that are specially designed for the professional exam. The exercises feature realistic scenarios closely aligned with the workplace format.
All content on the platform is developed by Olena Bazalukova, the founder of deutsch-vorbereitung.com. She holds a university degree in German language teaching and collaborates with experienced German teachers, examiners, and instructors. This close cooperation ensures high-quality materials tailored to the latest exam requirements and real-life professional situations.
One listening task deals with a situation in which an employee wants to swap work shifts. The conversation involves not only specific times, but also polite phrasing, coordination with colleagues, and responses to unexpected changes. Such exercises train not only listening comprehension but also the ability to handle real workplace interactions in Germany.
“I used to be very unsure when it came to listening comprehension, especially with technical terms. The exercises on this site helped me understand better and gain confidence.”
– Mykhailo Pelykh (Customer Survey, March 2025)
The combination of realistic exercises, understandable solutions, and accessible transcripts makes preparing for the B1 Professional Listening Exam much easier and significantly increases the chances of success in the test – and in your professional life.
Alex Aldikurz: „Excellent website for exam preparation! There’s a lot of material, and all the best is collected in one place. The only downside is that the names and numbers in the listening and writing sections are spoken too fast (for me). Still, definitely worth the money!“
Vivak K: „This site is the best part of my entire German learning experience. I discovered it one month before my B1 exam, and it really helped! I passed the test. Everything is in one place: letters, pictures, listening, reading, writing. Now I'm using it again because I need to pass B2. Thank you, Olena and the team, for this platform. Highly recommended!“
Tabesh Shahrivar: „This is the best you can imagine!“
